Microbiomes, metagenomics, and primate conservation: New strategies, tools, and applications

2016-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Conservation strategies require multifaceted approaches to monitor and protect primate populations, many of which are rapidly declining around the world. We propose that microbial ecology and next-generation microbiome analyses offer valuable perspectives and tools for investigating and monitoring primate health and improving conservation efforts. The microbial communities inhabiting primates and other taxa profou...
